Aluminium shopfronts are the standard for modern UK retail and commercial buildings — slim profiles, large glass areas, durable powder-coat finishes, and integrated security. S&K Glazing manufactures and installs aluminium shopfronts using Smart Systems, Reynaers, and Schueco specifications across the UK, with finishes including matte black, anthracite grey, white, and bespoke RAL colours.

Our process

From survey to installation in 4 steps

01

Survey & design

We measure, photograph, and produce design drawings showing the new shopfront elevation, framing layout, door positioning, and finish specification.

02

Fixed-price quote

Detailed quote within 48 hours including manufacturing, installation, scaffolding (if needed), and removal of existing shopfront.

03

Manufacture

Lead time typically 4-6 weeks for standard powder-coat colours. Bespoke colours 6-8 weeks.

04

Phased installation

Most shopfront installations completed over a weekend to minimise trading disruption. Larger frontages installed in 2-4 days with temporary boarding overnight.

FAQs

Aluminium Shopfronts questions, answered

Typical retail shopfront: 2-3 days on site. We often work weekends to avoid disrupting trading.
Minimised — we typically remove the old shopfront and install temporary boarding Friday evening, complete the new installation Saturday-Sunday, and you reopen Monday.
Temporary plywood boarding is fitted overnight during installation. Once complete, optional integrated roller shutters provide overnight security.
Typical aluminium shopfront: £4,500-£12,000 depending on width and complexity. Premium spec with integrated shutters: £8,000-£20,000.
For most replacement shopfronts, no planning permission is required (it's like-for-like). In Conservation Areas or for Listed Buildings, we handle the application drawings and liaise with conservation officers.
